i wonder if they're bringing up stuff he did in the white house so now they can try to get the case halted and tossed on the "official act' immunity the gang of six just made up yesterday
Their argument is that the prosecution partially relied on things he did while president as evidence, and that might now be inadmissible due to Trump v. U.S.
But it’s also a clear sign that no matter how Roberts might have pretended to thread a needle, Trump and his administration see this as absolute immunity for anything they do, in office or not.
Roberts: “it’s absurd speak of a hypothetical future where a president would abuse official duties.”
Trump, 10hrs later: “it was my official duty as president to commit fraud in order to pay a porn star to not speak.”
Trump, 10hrs later: “it was my official duty as an unelected nominee to potentially become president to commit fraud in order to pay a porn star to not speak.”
